Since the news of his passing, and with the arrival of his body in the country, the mourning for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has been shaped by a blend of expressive national grief and deep-rooted cultural traditions.

Your profile should speak for you. Make it as vibrant and engaging as possible. Make it in a way such that any person who comes across it wishes to meet you in person before you even talk. Outline your interests, what you are looking for but don’t write a novel. Just a sentence or two.

2. Pick a good photo

It’s the first thing that someone sees when they click your profile. If you leave it blank, very few people will care to look at it. Choose the best photo from your gallery but don’t filter it too much. Just be real and you will attract real people. And don’t just put close up photos. Put a full photo of you taken in good lighting and one that makes you feel good about yourself. It should also be recent.

3. Be honest

Don’t lie about your age or your hobbies. If traveling is not your hobby, you don’t have to list it down just because you want to appeal to everyone. Your perfect match should find you appealing to whatever hobbies you got.

4. Don’t rush up things

Take it slow and don’t be in a rush to bring up sexual chemistry before you meet in person. If both of you are looking for something serious, you will have enough time to build on your sexual chemistry in person over time. Bringing the issue of sex before meeting someone in person may scare a legitimate lover.

5. Know when to move on
